I had planned on getting my last flights of 2022 today so I had several batteries charged up by two in the afternoon. The first flight was with my FW-450 which is GPS equipped so I can put it where I want and take pictures of it flying. It will stay right there until I pick the transmitter back up. If the battery should get low it will automatically go back to where it took off and land itself.
Next I got out the T-Rex 500 and flew it. No pictures of it in the air as it does not have GPS and Vera still has a cold so I didn't want her outside taking a picture. I also had a nice relaxing flight with my Vapor slow flyer.
If you compare the transmitter size to the T-Rex 500 and then to this T-Rex 700 you will see this thing is pretty big. The 500 uses one 25 volt battery and the 700 uses two much larger 25 volt batteries so there is 50 volts to the motor. I had a good flight with it but I had to concentrate much more. I have another GPS control unit that I think is going in it before I fly it again. We spent a quiet evening reading and watching YouTube. We stayed up until midnight because the fireworks were going off all evening. It has been a different year for us but we are both fairly healthy and able to do the things we want. We are both looking forward to the new year.
